My roommate was really into XCOM some months ago, and there is someone on my Twitter who will NOT stop playing it, so as a show of quiet solidarity (solidarity they will never know about), I played some XCOM today. It actually started making sense and being fun! I'm kinda scared!

I've made some progress in the plot, capturing aliens, saving the day, building stuff. I had a really bad mission where I lost like three people because of those goddamn floaters (terrible name for an alien, by the way), but I struggled through and in the next mission captured the weird crystal alien, so I'm still in the game for now. For some reason. It get too scary soon.
